This week's Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy fighter is the Burger Bear! He's hairy, he's heroic,
he's a hamburger. Burger Bear is here to test your strength in
a series of progressively harder challenges. Each friendly fight with
the Burger Bear is harder than the last but offers greater rewards! He
might even bring some friends along for a fight or two.

It's been a while since we've done once of these: Name That Kaiju! The latest Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy monster is a high-protein hero ready for action. He'll
test your strength in a variety of progressively tougher trials. Come
back Friday for the reveal!

Wednesday, September 27, 2017

We want to make sure Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy is enjoyable by players of all skill levels, so we made
sure to offer a variety of difficulty levels! Normal mode is fair but
challenging, Easy mode is for people just here for the story and jokes,
and Hard mode is for people looking for a more brutal experience. You
can switch between Easy and Normal at any time, but be careful, once you
select Hard mode you're in it for the long run!

There are some things darker than Dr. Cube in the world of Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy. In each of the game's zones are hidden encounters with a
mysterious cult trying to revive something wicked. What could it be?
How can they be stopped?

Odin Strike: Slo Feng uses his godlike strength to tear into every enemy on the battlefield simultaneously! In addition to damaging them, this attack reduces defensive power for all enemies that it hits. Perfect when used in combination with other high-damage heroes.

Sparkle: A multi-part attack that also keeps Feng out of harm's way! Our hero jumps high above the battle field before throwing down a lightning bolt and finally crashing down on his opponent's head, hammer first. While he's in the air, Slo Feng cannot be damaged, even by attacks that otherwise hit the whole party.

Slo Feng takes things a little more leisurely than other heroes. All of his abilities take 1-3 turns to charge up, but when they hit, they land some serious damage! Using him successfully involves careful planning, with other heroes buffing up his strength while he's charging. For the convenience of these GIFs, his charge time is turned off.

Meatball: Hurl a heavily seasoned projectile! It takes a couple of turns to cook, but once it's ready this meaty delight will leave foes frowning.

A Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy Behind the Scenes look! Here we see a Roman senator
who's thrown his support behind Dr. Cube. In the top left we have my
hideous placeholder graphic used during development. To the right, Soda_piggy's
first draft of the character. At the bottom, the completed work! A lot
of work has gone into making each townsperson throughout the game look
and feel unique. We hope you enjoy befriending and/or annoying them all!

Not all of the heroes you meet in Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy are here to fight; some are just here to dance. Super
Wrong expresses himself entirely through dance and keeps an eye on Hero
HQ while you're out there saving the space-time continuum.

Yakuza Kiwami is out in English next week, so what better time to get your groove on in Japan?

Here's a smooth synth track from an upcoming Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy zone! Tokyo is an almost modern day zone in the game and
will feature a crazy big Kaiju that poses a threat to the entire city.
It's time to get huge.

Friday, August 18, 2017

Paco: Need someone punched in the brain? Call Paco Plantain. Pedro can summon his macho mustached uncle to deal major damage a single foe. While Pedro's skills are largely focused on support abilities, this one's a big damage dealer that can get you out of tough situations quickly.

Thursday, August 17, 2017

Distribute: Pedro's all about giving back to the people. While his friends are walloping their enemies, Pedro can heal their injuries at the expense of his own HP. Health is distributed equally among them and everyone benefits. It might hurt him a little in the short term, but the gain is universal!

Wednesday, August 16, 2017

This week's Kaiju Big Battel​: Fighto Fantasy combat spotlights focus on Pedro Plantain! He's not the heaviest damage dealer, but he's crafty! Able to debilitate foes, Pedro is a great friend to have in your corner.

Pablo: Years ago, Pedro's dear brother Pablo died a horrible, horrible death in the Kaiju ring. Pedro was understandably devastated, but when life gives you a zombie brother, you might as well put him to work. Pedro can summon the zombie Pablo to rush in and bite an enemy, inflicting them with a poison that drains health with each turn.

Wednesday, August 9, 2017

I've got plantains on the brain! This week in Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy we take a look at Pedro Plantain's niece, Penelope. She
doesn't fight, but she serves a crucial role outside of battle: Crawling
into small, spooky places too tiny for Pedro or the other heroes to
explore. It would be a bad idea for them to even try, they'd end up like
Winnie the Pooh. No time for clowning around like that, guys.
Once you send Penelope out to search, she may find cool new weapons and
items or may unlock nearby doors. Always explore everywhere!

Friday, August 4, 2017

Wobble: We end our week with a wiggle and a wobble. Dusto Bunny can
heal his friends by shaking like a madman, breaking out dance moves the
likes of which no one's seen before. Some of macho movements are so
inspirational that they can even bring KO'd buddies back to their feet!
This simple Wobble is his most basic, though. No raising the dead with
this one.

Thursday, August 3, 2017

Dirt Fling: Dusto's gonna put some dirt in your eye! Sling some mud into an unsuspecting enemy's face and stun them for a couple of turns. Here we see Dusto harassing a Muscle Mummy; you may notice that Dusto takes some damage here too. If you look at his health bar, you'll see he's been poisoned! The point is, be very careful when messing with mummies, even if you've got a pocketful of dirt.

Wednesday, August 2, 2017

Hop: Dusto Bunny is the team's primary healer/motivational speaker, but he can throw his weight around when he needs to. The Hop ability flings Dusto into the air where he's safe from any enemy attacks and then drops him right on their heads.

Each Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy hero has a special ability that they can use outside of
battle. Sometimes these are necessary to progress through the game,
sometimes they open up optional areas to reward careful players who love
to explore!

Robox here can hack into computers, taking players
into a spooky world outside of reality. When Robox first joins the team,
players will have to take him through a series of test chambers filled
with hacking puzzles and broken down prototype robots. Don't die!

The latest Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy track takes us back to Egypt, where something spooky and
buff lurks in a cave just waiting to punch out any unsuspecting heroes.
Rumors say that if you get bit by a mummy, you get totally sick and
it's really gross. It makes sense, have you seen their teeth? You don't
want to get wrapped up in that kind of bad business.

Friday, July 14, 2017

Bake: Always be careful when using the oven. Don't forget to turn it
off after use and don't just turn the heat up to max because you think
it will cook your food quicker! There's a reason for recommended
temperatures and times on recipes. Don't try to cheat the system, it
won't work, your food will taste bad. Silver Potato isn't concerned with
that, though. He's using his Bake spell to toast some mummies.

Thursday, July 13, 2017

Microwave: Every RPG needs a dude with elemental magic attacks, but most games don't feature a dancing potato man who fires magical beams via sick dance moves. All of Potato's magic is inspired by food prep or food pun. Here we see him using an electric shock attack that teaches an important lesson: Don't put metal in the microwave!

Wednesday, July 12, 2017

Chip: Like the best wizards, Silver Potato fights using dance moves and
cool poses that fire out elemental beams, but sometimes an enemy's just
too tough! That's where Chip comes into play. This move chips away at
an enemy's magical resistance, leaving them vulnerable to dangerous
deadly magic attacks. Stat buffs and debuffs are essential to survival
in Fighto Fantasy, so use them smartly!

Wednesday, July 5, 2017

The Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy heroes were so busy keeping the world safe that they
forgot about the 4th of July! That's OK; American Beetle has plenty of
everyday fireworks for them to shoot off.

Sometimes protecting
the world starts at home. What kind of hero are you if you can't even
clean your own dishes or take out the trash? A filthy hero, that's what
kind. Here we see Dusto Bunny exploring a disgusting apartment that
would make him feel right at home if it weren't full of shady enemy
monsters.

Friday, June 30, 2017

Combo: More's better, right? Combo lets Beetle punch an enemy upside
the head 1-4 times. It's a bit random, so you're taking a risk! There's a
90% chance he'll hit twice, but only a 50% chance of three hits and a
25% chance of landing all four. Each hit does more damage than the last;
this clip's from early in the game so the increase is small, but once
you're beefed up with high-powered gear, it really makes a difference!

Thursday, June 29, 2017

USA!: You can't wear flashy pants like Beetle's unless you're a true
showboat. Flash the flag (accompanied by a sick guitar riff by Glock & mr8bit) and work the crowd into a frenzy to boost Beetle's attack power! Nothing like audience hype to power up your punches.

Wednesday, June 28, 2017

Let's get to know our Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy heroes a little better! This week, we're spotlighting a few of the combat moves of American Beetle.

Apollo Punch: Named for a mythological boxing hero with fists of a god,
Beetle's fiery punch is sure to ruin the day of any enemy who takes a
fist to the face. It's especially good against flammable foes, so if
you're hiding in snow, made of cardboard, or a living tree monster,
watch out for this one!

Happy Summer, friends! It's the long awaited return of our Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy pixel art speed drawing series, in which our artist
shows off three enemies you'll encounter in a robotics factory where
good old Robox was built. This video also features the music written for
this zone!

Wednesday, May 31, 2017

Today, Pedro Plantain finds himself in a laboratory where he's about to meet a new Kaiju Big Battel friend. Who could it be?! No, this lab wasn't ruined in a monster attack, it's just underfunded, and nerds are slobs.

Wednesday, May 24, 2017

And so, our Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy heroes bumble their way into Boston. This zone is
divided into a few different areas connected by subway. There will be
some familiar sights here for locals! Some people will also get mad that
the geography has morphed a little. Sorry, that's what happens when mad
doctors mess with time and space.

Wednesday, May 17, 2017

After dealing with dudes in Egypt, Rome, Russia, and a weird Abyss outside of time and space, The Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy heroes are finally making a trip to the USA! But where
are they? Got any guesses? Next week we'll have a full reveal of the new
area!

Wednesday, May 10, 2017

To
quote one of the great philosopher kings of our time, "Y'all can see me
now 'cause you don't see with your eye / You perceive with your mind."
Seeing is believing or something, right? I see.

Here we have some visual modification options for Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy. After a certain point in the story, a vending machine
will appear in Hero HQ that lets players buy items that mess with the
game's audio and visual elements. Which style do you like best?

Wednesday, May 3, 2017

Just another day in the Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy Hero Headquarters. Here we see the Party Room, a place
where the heroes can hang out, bust some moves, play some games. There
are some scary things out there in time and space, but you don't have to
live your life in fear. There's a time to break and a time to chill.

Wednesday, April 19, 2017

It just wouldn't be Kaiju Big Battel
without a sweet merch table, and Fighto Fantasy is no exception.
Here
we see a newly renovated room in Hero Headquarters where players can buy
essential items for surviving the battle against Dr. Cube, as well as
doodads they probably don't need.

Who's in charge of these
booths, though? There's no one behind the table! Turns out Hero HQ is a
bit understaffed. You'll need to rescue two missing Kaiju heroes and put
them to work.

Friday, April 14, 2017

Our interview with Game Warp is live! See some behind the scenes wobbling and learn the history behind Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy. Had a great time talking to them, be sure to subscribe to their podcast!

This week's monster is the Abyss Master! "Who in the world is the Abyss Master? What is this nonsense? Where's Gomi Man?" cries out the burned Kaiju Big Battel fan. Worry not: You'll see Gomi Man in this game. Probably. In the meantime, we've got a monster that's neither hero nor villain: The Abyss is a world that exists outside of time and space, where the bizarre, ever shifting Goobles live. They're gooey, greedy, and certainly not sentient, but they can still pack a punch. The Abyss Master is the largest of the Goobles... so far.

Wednesday, April 12, 2017

Sometimes,
you must embrace the unknown. A monster approaches; you have no idea
what it is. It's unknowable, a new type of monster from outside time and
space, unknown to the world of Kaiju Big Battel. This Fighto Fantasy foe comes straight out of our own personal nightmares... or maybe not. Maybe he's just a party animal.

Thursday, April 6, 2017

As the Kaiju Big Battel
heroes travel through the many worlds of Fighto Fantasy, their trusty
science-magic translators allow them to automatically communicate with
everyone they meet; even cats. However, some creatures are so outside of
our understanding that communication might take some more work. Here,
in The Abyss, Pedro finds a pack of Doodlers. There must be a way to
figure them out!

Saturday, April 1, 2017

Finally, everyone's absolute favorite Kaiju Big Battel
monster makes its Fighto Fantasy debut! This Friendly foe just wants to
have a good time, but is known to get a little sloppy after partying
too hard. This slippery slapstick slob will see you in your dreams.

Friday, March 31, 2017

A big thanks to everyone who helped get Kaiju Big Battel:
Fighto Fantasy through the Steam Greenlight gauntlet! The game's
official page is now live, so you can hang out, chat, and add it to your
wishlists in preparation for the release later this year. http://store.steampowered.com/app/611710/
